I had a similar problem recently. IE became virtually unusable, frequent restarts and blue screens. I think it is caused by running IE 6 on something other than XP (I have 98se). Check out this quote from Download.com in the review section for IE 6:
"Browser
keeps giving error messages and re-starts internet explorer every few minutes"
Internet Explorer 6.0 is not stable Cannot handle opening up some multi-functional websites. It becomes very annoying when you have to keep re-entering a webpage because it gives the explorer an error; but the webpage is needed for class! Other browers can handle the webpage, though. (Internet Explorer 5.0 would be a better option) "
A lot of people are having this problem. Mine would usually crash when I came here (GFY,
"multifunctional websites")
I bought a new computer with XP on it and am up and running again. I still have to run a program that removes all IE components from 98se (old computer)
and then reinstall IE 5.5. Just reinstalling 5.5 over 6 won't work.
